Script about Making Friends with an Elderly Person at a Bus Stop:

John: Hello. My name is John. I see you here every day. You sit here, alone. I don’t know you, but because I always see you here, I know your face.

Woman: Oh, hello. How nice of you to say hello. Every day I sit here and watch the people. I don’t ride the bus, I just want to see all the people.

John: Do you live with your family? Do you live near here?

Woman: My family lives far from here. I only see them once a week. They visit me here. I have an apartment in this city, but I feel lonely during the week so I come here. I bring a cup of coffee and a sandwich, two cookies and a candy.

John: Why don’t you go to a club to meet your friends or other people?

Woman: No, I like to be here. I drink my coffee, and eat my sandwich. After that I eat my cookies. When I finish the cookies I know that it is time to go home. On the way back to my apartment, I suck on the candy.

John: I think you are wonderful. What a nice idea you have. But, if you feel lonely you should go to the club at the park. They have a nice clubhouse and you can meet friends. You can talk and tell them about your life and what you do every day.

Woman: You are sweet. Thank you. It is nice to know that someone young thinks of someone old, like me. Well, I have no more cookies now, so, I am going. Bye John.

John: Goodbye. Maybe I will see you tomorrow.
